This is me not-so-secret place for working on me new magic system.

Quintessence

Essentially the ether; an omnipresent spiritual substance.

The quintessence acts as the conduit for minds to interact with the physical environment, normally by connecting the mind to the body. It is the go-between for thought and action. Magicians find ways of extending their influence over the quintessence beyond their physical bodies.

By this definition, magic is literally the act of imposing one's will over reality, as if flexing a muscle.
